Former long-time CBS4 news reporter Suzanne McCarroll passed away in California.

McCarroll was admitted into The Heartland Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 2008. He began working at CBS4 Denver in 1982 and remained there until 2016. McCarroll was a superb storyteller who particularly enjoyed telling human interest tales. She was an accomplished hard news reporter who excelled at covering politics, the government, and daily news. She produced periodic “Money Saver” pieces for the station that were meant to help customers. “Pay it Forward” was the name of another series she had.

In a Wednesday afternoon tweet, Jim Benemann, a longtime TV journalist and anchor at CBS4 Denver, paid tribute to McCarroll.

“No one in this industry that I’ve ever known has ever completed the work with greater intelligence, grace, and good humor. We all understood how fortunate we were to have her in our lives, according to Benemann.

She received high praise from coworkers for her work as part of the Heartland Chapter induction, with remarks like this one: “She has the unusual ability to combine aggressive, get-the-story concentration with real respect and compassion for vulnerable persons who are caught up in a disaster.” “… considers journalism to be a civic duty and a greater calling.” Always prioritizes the narrative. Any newscast with Suzanne on it is better, in my opinion. Her aptitude for listening helps her land crucial interviews.

McCarroll joined IBM as a speech writer after earning a B.A. in communications from Stanford University in 1978. She began her career in television news at KIDK in Idaho Falls in 1979, then in 1980 she transferred to KCGR in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In 1982, she accepted a position with KCNC Denver as a “entry-level reporter.” McCarroll has given guest lectures at the Poynter Institute and DePauw University over the years. She taught writing for television news as an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado.

Kelly Werthmann, a reporter and anchor for CBS4, wrote on Twitter that Suzanne was one of the first people to welcome her to the CBS4 family. “I miss her happy presence in our newsroom; she was certainly one of the kindest persons ever. Even on difficult days, Suzanne always made the best of each one. For her family, my heart aches.

Throughout her journalism career, McCarroll battled cancer. According to the Washington Post, the disease returned in May 2015 after almost eight years of non-Hodgkin lymphoma remission.

For 20 years, McCarroll sat next to reporter Rick Sallinger in the workplace. He remarked, “She was an example of positivity, especially in the face of adversity. “We have lost a truly beautiful person.”

She had three children.
